On other days (except from 31-12-2006 to 14-01-2007), the “Nada” will open at 4 am in the morning, and on completion of the Noon Pooja, the “Nada” will be closed.

Devotees visiting Sabarimala Temple should strictly adhere to the customs and traditions followed at the temple. Only those coming with “IRUMUDI KETTU” will be allowed to ascend the Holy “PATHINETTAM PADI” (Eighteen Holy Steps) leading to the Sannidhanam. Women aged between 10 years and 50 years will not be allowed to trek the Holy Hills. At the time of the Thiru Arrattu festival the presence of women aged between 10 to 50 is not allowed at Pamba also.
In order to avoid environmental pollution on the road leading to Pamba. Sannidhanam and enroute, all items manufactured in plastic and polythene are strictly banned. Betel chewing, using panmasala and smoking are also strictly banned in the above mentioned places.
Though the Board is trying its level best to provide all amenities to the pilgrims, due to the severe rush the facilities may not be enough. Hence pilgrims are adviced not to overstay at the temple premises. Since the boarding facilities at the Sannidhanam are not enough to cater to the heavy rush of pilgrims, the devotees are requested to leave Sannidhanam at the earlist after Darshan and other rituals.
Parking of vehicles except light vehicles has been arranged at Nilakkal. The heavy vehicles should drop the devotees at Pamba and go back to Nilakkal, to park the same at the parking area provided by Travancore Devaswom Board. After the “Darshan”, devotees may avail the facility of chain services arranged by KSRTC to reach Nilakkal and catch their own vehicles parked at the parking area. These arrangements are to avoid the heavy rush and traffic jam at Pamba.
In order to make this annual pilgrimage to Sabarimala a grand success, Devaswom Board requests the co-operation of all devotees in this regard.
